The Sound Guy releases Spectral Machine multi-effects plugin

The Sound Guy has released Spectral Machine, a frequency-domain plug-in featuring a wide range of unique spectral effects.

Spectral Machine™ is an advanced frequency-domain multi-effects plug-in. Like SFX Machine, Spectral Machine wraps a great deal of power and flexibility inside an easy-to-use interface.

But unlike time-domain plug-ins like SFX Machine, Spectral Machine starts by converting the audio into the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This gives us direct access to the signal’s frequency spectrum, enabling a number of effects that simply would not be possible in the time domain.

Spectral Machine features

General Purpose Effects

Delay Spectral Bands – Apply separate delays to different spectral bands, with individual control over the amount of feedback in each band!

Spectral Freeze – Click the “Fire” button to freeze the sound, which then decays at different rates for high and low frequencies. Click the “Reset” button to unfreeze.

Sample & Hold – Similar to Spectral Freeze, but it automatically retriggers at a specified interval.

3 AM – A tremolo effect with individual control over the modulation rate and depth in three frequency bands.

3-Band Filter – Precise control over the gain in three user-selected frequency bands.

Spectral Peak/Notch – Lets you boost or attenuate an arbitrarily narrow frequency band around a specified frequency.

Spectral Machine for Mac was updated to v1.0.2a:
There was a version number mismatch that caused the AU version to fail the AU validation in Logic. If you downloaded version 1.0.2 on 8/23 or 8/24 and experienced this problem, remove /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/SpectralMachine, download the latest 1.0.2a installer and reinstall.
